It’s a new day. A new start. A new opportunity. It’s a day to embrace your boldness.

Yes, you have been here many times – standing at the doorway, looking out and into a forest you could not trust, looking at a path that would take you into a place you could not see. So you turned away. You stayed in the building, behind the walls that you thought were your safety.

No longer, my precious and bold one. Today fear has been overcome by hope. Passivity has been overcome by faith – drawing you to release the boldness that is truly you. Yes, you can now go through that doorway. Your boldness has been nurtured and grown and brought unto light. I am well-pleased and do delight in you. I walk with you into the forest that you once feared. You will see that what you did not understand in days past is really simple. And beautiful. And life-giving.

Embrace your boldness. I do.
